Hi gajananh999,

try something like this:

 your base search to get the events | rex field=_raw "(?<myOra>ORA-.+)" | table myOra

if this works for you, you can set it up as automated field extraction in Splunk UI.
Be aware that for the automated field extraction the regex must be used in a different way, so something like this should work:

(?P<myOra>ORA-.+)

cheers, MuS

I don't have a Splunk UI handy, but in the field extraction UI you can edit the regex. simply paste ORA-.+ in there and you should be fine.
